Vicky reunites with members of Our Dementia Choir in a new BBC One series
Nottingham's Vicky McClure reunites with members of Our Dementia Choir, which she helped to form four years ago in a new series for BBC One. The two-part documentary series examines issues surrounding the dementia care system and sees Vicky make history at Abbey Road.
Why did Vicky McClure start Our Dementia Choir? The actress was inspired to form the choir after caring for her grandmother Iris and seeing impact music had on her care. Though she slowly watched her grandmother deteriorate over years of battling the disease, McClure never forgot how music helped Iris.
"People are being diagnosed so much younger because of lifestyle or simply because people are more aware and get an early diagnosis – although it's very hard to diagnose and often people are told they are depressed. The fact is that dementia is the UK's biggest killer. That's not bulls**t. That's a fact. And do you know why? There's no cure. It's almost a forgotten disease.
